Dry Rubbed Rib Eye Food

DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
• Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

DRY RUBBED RIB EYE WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For the steak: Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub. Let sit for a few minutes.
• Preheat a saute pan or cast iron skillet over high heat.
• Lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks in a very hot pan and get a good sear on both sides. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Remove the steak from the pan and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes.
• For the mushroom sauce: Drain the fat from the pan. Add the shallots and bring the pan to a medium heat and season with salt. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes and add in the garlic. Cook the garlic and shallots together for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to coat with oil. Cook the mushrooms until they look soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the brandy and cook until it has reduced by half.
• Add the veal demi-glaze. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes; the consistency should be almost as thick as gravy. If it is still thin, let it simmer for another couple of minutes until it does thicken.
• Check the consistency by coating a spoon with the sauce, turn the spoon over and draw a line down the middle of the spoon with your finger. If your finger leaves a track down the spoon without moving, then it is ready! Taste and adjust the salt, if needed.
• Slice the steak on the bias across the grain leaving a few bites of meat on the bone. Serve slices and meat on the bone over Crispy Smashed Potatoes and top with mushroom sauce. Serve with Glazed Carrots on the side.
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan filled with cold water. Salt the water. Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan with high sides over high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the crushed red pepper. Add the potatoes and saute until beginning to brown. Lightly smash the potatoes and flip them to brown the other side. Season with salt and keep warm.
• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
• To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup water. Bring the pan to medium heat, swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, remove the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook until the carrots are completely coated and hot, another 2 to 3 minutes.

COFFEE RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine all spices in a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Preheat a cast iron pan over high heat. Brush each side of the steak with oil and then season each side liberally with salt and pepper. Rub 2 tablespoons of the coffee rub onto 1 side of each steak. Cook the steak, rub side down until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steak over, cook for 2 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven to medium-rare doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

RIB DRY RUB

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container. Pack on the dry rub onto your next rack of ribs.

GRILLED DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine pimenton, garlic powder, oregano, coriander, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Generously season both sides of steaks with mixture. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil. Let stand on a rimmed baking sheet at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill to medium-high; clean and lightly oil grates. Grill steaks, rotating once, until well-browned on outsides and cooked to desired doneness, 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare (about 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Transfer to a platter; loosely cover with parchment-lined foil. Let stand at least 15 and up to 30 minutes.
• Toss scallions in a bowl with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high, turning, until lightly charred in places and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain and serve with charred scallions.

DRY RUB FOR RIBS

Steps:

• Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub into pork ribs. For best results, allow ribs to marinate overnight. Grill ribs as desired.

DRY RUBBED BONE-IN RIB EYE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the salt, brown sugar, red pepper, pimentón, garlic powder, and cumin. Rub the outside of each steak generously and evenly with the rub (if there's leftover rub, save it for your next steak). Wrap each rubbed steak in plastic and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill.
• Remove the steaks from the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before you're ready to cook to allow them to come to room temperature. Remove the plastic wrap.
• Place the steaks on the grill and char them well over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they're really nicely browned. Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest somewhere warm for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the meat off the bone and slice it on the bias across the grain. Arrange the sliced steak and the bone on a serving plate and drizzle with big fat finishing oil to serve.
• ANNE ALERT!
• I like to give this steak twenty-four hours to really absorb the lovely flavors of the rub, but if you're in a hurry, even a couple hours will do.

DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE STEAK FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, garlic, red pepper flakes, pepper, mushroom powder and olive oil and stir well to form a thick, fairly dry paste. Rub the paste all over the steak, coating it evenly, and refrigerate, wrapped in plastic, for 12 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the grill or broiler.
• Remove the steak from the refrigerator and brush off the excess marinade with a paper towel. Cook on the hottest part of the grill for 25 minutes, turning every 6 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 120 F for medium rare.
• Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.

DRY RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Rub on steaks all over then wrap in cling wrap tightly. Store in fridge for up to 3 days then BBQ.
• You can let sit for less time but the longer the better.

SPICE-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK WITH ORANGE-PINEAPPLE CHIPOTLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Prepare the glaze - you can make this ahead and reheat before use! In a saucepan blend the pineapple and orange juices with the vinegar, pureed chipotles and ground cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until mixture is reduced by 2/3, 45-60 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. (If you want to use as a basting sauce for other recipes, stop here.) Return mixture to heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to reduce by almost one half. The glaze or basting sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for one month.
• For the steak, combine the toasted cumin seeds, cracked peppercorns and salt in a small bowl. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill.
• Grill the steaks over very hot coals (or pan-sear the steaks over high heat) about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 1-2 minutes longer for medium, less for rare, checking carefully for doneness since the thickness of the steaks and intensity of heat will affect cooking time.
• Remove steaks from heat when just slightly underdone: cooking will continue while standing. Brush with glaze, and allow steaks to stand for 5-8 minutes. Serve on warmed plates, with extra glaze on the side.

HAWAIIAN RIB EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk pineapple juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and oil in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add onion and ginger. Set aside 2 tablespoons marinade for butter. Transfer remaining marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add steaks and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Chill at least 1 day.
• Remove steaks from marinade, pat dry, and let sit until room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Butter and Assembly.
• Whisk butter and oil in a medium bowl to combine. Vigorously whisk in reserved marinade; season with salt. Transfer to the center of a sheet of parchment paper and roll up into a log. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill for direct (medium-high coals) and indirect (medium-low coals) heat. Alternatively, heat a gas grill to high just before cooking, leaving one burner on low. Grill over high heat, turning, until steaks are well browned and beginning to char around edges, about 4 minutes. Transfer to cooler part of grill and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120°F for medium-rare. (Alternatively, cook in a grill pan over medium-high heat, turning steaks every couple of minutes.).
• Transfer steaks to a wire rack. Slice butter into 1/4"-thick rounds and divide between steaks. Let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Do Ahead.
• Steaks can be marinated 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
• Butter can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
